BHS Higher Ed Day March 14 BHS & MVMS Choir Concert March 12 The Four Freshman Saturday, March 10, 2012, 7:30 pm Tickets: $20 adults/$15 students Only $15 with a Season Pass! In their 62nd year of performance, The Four Freshmen continue to bring their unique brand of vocal and instrumental harmonies to audiences worldwide. The BPAC welcomes The Four Freshman as headliners for their popular Intermountain Jazz Festival evening concert. The legendary Four Freshmen sound that began in 1948 continues in the 21st century with Brian Eichenberger, Curtis Calderon, Vince Johnson, and Bob Ferreira. The Four Freshmen are not only great singers, but they are also recognized as world-class jazz instrumentalists, as they accompany themselves on guitar, trumpet, bass, and drums, among other instrumental configurations. Whether performing with a full symphonic orchestra, in front of a big band, or playing self-contained, their unmistakable sound continues to thrill sold-out audiences all over the world. The Four Freshmen were one of the top vocal groups of the 1950s, and formed the bridge between '40s ensembles and harmony-based rock & roll bands. In 2000, the current Four Freshmen were voted Vocal Group of the Year by Down Beat Magazine's readers. This concert is sponsored, in part, by the National Endowment for the Arts and WESTAF (Western Arts Federation). Jazz House Big Band Fundraiser for Wesley Johnson Friday, March 9 * 7:00 pm Tickets at the door: $10 adults/$7 students When the Jazz House Big Band takes the stage for a great night of music, one family in particular is hoping for a packed house. Doug Wareing, director of the Jazz House Big Band, heard about the needs of the Johnson family from Rexburg and knew immediately the Jazz House Big Band could help them. This concert will serve as a fundraiser for the rising medical bills of 7-year-old Wesley Johnson. It is hoped the community will support this worthwhile endeavour to help ease the financial burden for the Johnson family. Aimee and Cody Johnson's family certainly didn't expect to hear a brain cancer diagnosis for their son, Wesley, on Christmas Eve last year. Hearing the news and facing the endless medical treatments has been a roller coaster for the entire family. Wesley was diagnosed with 2 tumors in his brain and is currently going through rounds of chemo and radiation therapy at the Primary Children's Hospital in Salt Lake City. Wesley lives with his parents and 3 siblings in Rexburg. He is in the first grade and his best friends are Cooper and Jacob. He loves shooting his BB gun, playing video games, riding his bike, tormenting his siblings, and of course, playing with his many friends. Men of Worth Wed, March 7 Never will you hear the authentic music and humor of Ireland and Scotland as when the Men of Worth come to Blackfoot on March 7, 2012! This concert will be a "Backstage Event" so the audience will sit on the stage with the performers. Seating is limited. The Men of Worth was formed by James Keigher (Ireland) and Donnie Macdonald (Scotland) in 1986. They are an international act, and have earned much respect and success in two decades of touring. Performing concerts, festivals, and having recorded ten albums, Men of Worth continue the very tradition from which they evolved. Tickets are $12 for adults and $10 for students to age 18.

Originated on a working cattle ranch in Jackson Hole, Wyoming, the Bar J Wranglers will take you back to the spirit of the Old West with authentic cowboy entertainment. The Bar J Wranglers have been called a western music show; some call it a stand-up comedy show with masterful cowboy music; others call it the best musical experience in the West. The fact remains - The Bar J Wranglers deliver some of the purest harmony, best musicianship, and funniest ranch humor ever seen on stage. Get your Valentine, leave behind your busy life, and settle into a time of long ago - a time of the singing cowboy. This show promises to be nothing short of GREAT!
